Screenprinted Brass Plaque on Ebony Piano Finish

A screenprinted brass plaque on an ebony piano finish is a wood award plaque with a brass-toned plate that carries a printed logo or inscription. Screen printing lays the artwork onto the plate in solid ink instead of cutting into the metal. Companies order it for recognition awards, donor plaques, and sponsor gifts.

Screen printing puts your logo on the brass plate in solid ink, so the mark reads in your brand color rather than in bare metal tone. Laser engraving removes the plate surface and leaves a tone-on-tone mark with no ink color at all. This plaque prints one color in one location, so gradients and photos must be converted to a single solid shape first.

Match the size to the length of the inscription. The 7 x 9 inch and 8 x 10 inch plaques hold a name and one short line of text. The 9 x 12 inch and 10.5 x 13 inch plaques hold several lines plus a logo above them. Order a single size across a recognition program so the awards hang as a matched set.

Yes, the brass plate takes one ink color in one print location, so choose the single color that carries your brand mark. Convert multi-color logos, gradients, and photographic artwork to one solid shape before you submit the file. Production begins only after you approve the artwork.

Production runs 5 working days from artwork approval. The clock starts when you sign off on the artwork, not when you place the order, so return your approval quickly if you have a banquet date to hit. Shipping transit time is added on top of those 5 production days.

Ebony piano finish plaques are ordered most often for years-of-service and retirement awards, sales achievement recognition, donor and sponsor thank-you gifts, board appreciation, building dedications, and sports league honors. The glossy black face reads well at formal banquets and on boardroom or lobby walls.

Wipe the plaque with a dry or barely damp microfiber cloth, then dry it right away. Keep ammonia glass cleaner, metal polish, and abrasive pads off the brass plate, because they lift screen-printed ink. Hang the plaque away from direct sunlight and damp walls to protect the high-gloss black surface.

Per-unit cost depends on three things: the plaque size, the order quantity, and the one-time screen setup for your artwork. The 7 x 9 inch plaque sits at the bottom of the range and the 10.5 x 13 inch plaque at the top, and the per-piece price falls as the quantity rises.
